Mundane mediocre architecture! Jerusalem needs special iconic structures not box buildings ,but ones that respond to a city built on hills! Very disappointing....sad
If (more like, given that) certain parts of the service's infrastructure are constructed in an area that is East Jerusalem thus beyond Israel's borders (such as the depot's), that is no gain
Because eventually (the sooner the better, from my perspective) a political reality will be shaped into where East Jerusalem will be recognized as part of a neighbouring Arab state detached from Israel's West Jerusalem (=there are two cities there all along in the first place) and no longer under Israeli jurisdiction; - when that will be in practice, parts of the railway network that are beyond Israel's borders as said will be severed from West Jlm's network operation along with the land on which they are set (i.e. the line's terminus & the depot should be within the Israeli city of course and not go beyond it, an "international tram" concept won't and shouldn't be on the table) and the huge investment on Israel's part, largely made as a tool to annex the eastern city by "shared infrastructure", will go down the drain.
@@orrling well for now it is better to allow public transport access to the Palestinians living in the West Bank, their municipal authority is Jerusalem and it has to provide for them, this is above political borders. A richer populace will benefit both sides in reducing crime and terrorism, and allow East Jerusalem to prosper. It is more important to call for equality for East Jerusalem, for the people living their lives there.
No it is more important to call for and strive for a political solution that will have East Jerusalem's residents having their own separate municipal authority, own & separate infrastructure (including rail or whatever they please) and own & separate country with no reliance on Israel
@@orrling I get your view, but I think it's too idealistic. The reality is that Palestinians in East Jerusalem who live under poverty will have easier access to the city they live in. It doesn't seem like the palestinian agenda of the israeli governments-to-come will change in the near future. If a poltical breakthrough will arrive in the future, it is easier to exchange infrastructure anyways, then let people struggle in the name of a political struggle
